international licenses

[marcbisbal]

Hello everyone, I would like to know what license I need to work on every continent, in Europe the ICAO, FAA in america ok, but Africa? in Asia? I need a license for each country?

if someone wants to summarize a little schematic I really appreciate it,

thank you! :ok:

It all depends on who the operator is in the specific African country...

FAA for US
EASA for EU
A few South African
...and the rest can be Russian, Australian, or which ever country you are in in Africa...

There is no 'International license'

Thanks man, yes I know there's no "internacional license", I just needed a clear picture of it

Find out from the country that you want to work in whether they accept FAA and/or EASA licences. If they do then they will issue a national endorsement to that licence allowing you to fly in their country.

In my experience this will cover you for six months, thereafter you have to take and have a national licence. For some countries this is just an air law exam but for most it is an abbreviated full exam including a medical.

In a country where they need commanders, ie China, the exams for ATP are in passable English. I know one who tried to get a Chinese CPL but it was a translation disaster.

Even if you are a native English speaker you may still be required to pass an ICAO Level 4 exam written by somebody who wouldn't pass a Level 1. There have been Englishmen with an Oxford degree in English who have failed that one.

You will need a company that is going to employ you to back you up all the way otherwise you are really wasting your time.
